Second Life has been taking it on the puss this past week or so, with more dogpiling on the economic questions, not to mention the whole nuking Reebok thing. And we enjoyed our own foray into supposedly popular SL locales and a first try at sex shopping. Speaking of first-timers, the account by Drew of "Toothpaste for Dinner" fame is one of the funniest things you'll read this month, so get to it. Thanks to those who sent in suggestions for SL places to visit, which we'll get to directly. Of particular interest are real-world entities, groups, or people that have SL presences. Drop us a line if you have tips for same.

UPDATE: Brilliantly amusing Warren Ellis post on Reuters about fighting off sexual infestations on his Second Life land.
